Can't get enough of the superhero siblings from "The Umbrella Academy"? Then look into adding some Funko Pop figures from the show to your collection. Funko Pop is a company that makes bobblehead-like action figures. If you have a favorite TV show or movie, Funko Pop probably makes action figures to match. A top choice from "The Umbrella Academy" line is the Funko Pop "The Umbrella Academy" Number Five.
"The Umbrella Academy" is a series about seven adopted children turned into crime-fighting superheroes by their eccentric billionaire father. The series starts when the adult siblings are brought together by their father's death and realize they must figure out how to stop the Apocalypse. The show was one of Netflix's most watched in 2019.
Most lines of Funko Pop figures include basic versions of the most popular characters from a show or movie. These tend to be the more common or widely available figures. The figures usually appear either as their character does most often as they look at the beginning of the show. An example of this from "The Umbrella Academy" is the Funko Pop figure of Luther in his green jacket.
Funko Pop Chase figures are a rare variant of a more common figure. You can recognize these by a sticker on the box that labels it as a Chase limited edition. If you can find one new, it will cost the same as a regular Funko Pop. However, it will probably cost a lot more if you purchase it from a seller.
Funko Pop figures are available for each of the heroes of "The Umbrella Academy," including Klaus, Ben, Vanya, Number Five, Diego, Allison and Luther. They appear as they do most frequently in season one.
A few side character "Umbrella Academy" Funko Pop figures are available. Pongo, Sir Reginald's genius chimp assistant, appears wearing a suit and holding his cane. He wears a menacing expression that matches fans' opinion of him. If you love the duo from the agency, there is also a figure of Hazel wearing her bear mask and holding a gun.
There are a few variations on "Umbrella Academy" characters. While Klaus's season one character is unusual enough, there is a Funko Pop figure of season two Klaus in his cult leader getup. A few variations of Vanya's character also are available, including a Chase variant of Vanya glowing with power at the end of season one. There is also a version of Ben once he learns to use his powers and a baby Pongo.
Expect to spend $10-$30 for most "Umbrella Academy" Funko Pop figures.
